ADHD is well-known for its deficits, but there may also be excellence in ADHD: creativity. Hoogman will try to draw a more complete picture of ADHD, investigating links between ADHD and creativity, in behavior/cognition, and underlying brain and genetic mechanisms. This work has implications for education, treatment, and patients’ quality of life.
